What is this?

Watch above: With Canada’s victory over Finland Friday night, the home team will now be playing in Montreal for a spot in the Quarterfinals. Ines De La Cuetara reports from the Dorval airport where eager fans greet the players.

MONTREAL – Team Canada received a warm welcome at Trudeau airport on Saturday afternoon, as Montreal soccer fans gathered at Arrivals to cheer on the under 20 Canadian soccer team.

The team lost to Ghana in their first game but beat Finland on Friday night in Toronto. Now the girls are facing North Korea on Tuesday. The two teams happened to be on the same flight.

“We definitely know we can play much better,” said Andrew Olivieri, the team’s coach. “A little more consistent throughout the game. We got better in both matches as the game went on, and we ‘ll have to have better starts against North Korea.”

Team Canada played in front of nearly 17 000 people on Friday night. Players say it’s nice to see that women’s soccer is starting to gain more and more attention.

“Just the support that they’re giving us in our home country in this amazingly big tournament is just incredible,” said Janine Beckie, a player. “The way women’s soccer is growing in this country and all over the world is just great.”
